Fantastic location
This is our second visit to this villa, Maria who takes care of the property on behalf of the owner is on hand and nothing is too much trouble. It’s in walking distance to Intermarche for groceries, 2 minutes to a restaurant and 10 minutes to a cafe. Patricia is quick to answer any questions, we messaged asking for coasters and an outside ashtray which we found left outside the door within a few hours. The only suggestion I would make is a a basic welcome basket for late night arrivals would be the icing on the cake. The villa is great for our needs and we will be back next year

Kleines Haus mit großen Mängeln in der Küche
das Außengelände mit Pool ist sehr schön. Maria (Betreuerin des Hauses vor Ort) ist nett und hilfsbereit. Die Ausstattung im Haus ist einfach, aber ausreichend. Allerdings hätten wir uns Mückennetze gewünscht. Ein großes Manko ist die Küche. Sämtliches Geschirr war schmutzig und in den Schränken roch es stark nach Schimmel. Bei einigen Holzteilen im Schrank war der Schimmel bereits sichtbar. Hier müsste dringend nachgebessert werden.

Traditional property and furnishings, sharing drive/parking with adjoining residential property. Self contained with all amenities. Comfortable bed, excellent shower, clean pool. Needs additional plug sockets in kitchen to save re plugging appliances and perhaps at this price a welcome pack ...bread/wine/cheese etc. ? Residential neighbours (Maria) helpful and friendly with bonus of Minnie the dog. Good restaurant 3 minutes walk up the road. Supermarkets within 5 minutes drive. No local bars.

Proper Portugal
Nice original semi detached property in a good location. Although I had difficulty finding the property, one phone call to the owners farther soon put me right. Perfect for my wife and myself for a relaxing week. Our only wish was that we could have done with a umbrella around the pool apart from that, perfect.

Séjour d'une semaine en août
Maison très bien équipée (lave-linge, lave-vaisselle,...) Piscine pas chauffée mais vu le temps cela n'a pas posé de problème. Nous pouvions nous y baigner. Très bien pour deux personnes voire 3 personnes. La maison est jouxtée par une autre maison habitée par un couple de personnes âgés qui sont restés très discret et très agréable. Prévoir la voiture pour les courses. Bon séjour dans l'ensemble.

Genau das, was wir suchten
Einfach Super! Alles das, was wir uns vorstellten, traf ein. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und hatten unsere Ruhe. Das Cottage bietet alles angegebene. Wir konnten gut schlafen, der Pool ist zwar klein aber völlig ausreichend. Die gute Seele des Hauses, Maria mit ihrem Hund Mimi, kümmerten sich rührend. Vom Standort ist alles super zu erreichen, ob es Faro oder Tavira ist. In der nahegelegenen Stadt Sao Bras de Aportel gibt es alle Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Also, Top Unterkunft.

Meahlash rental
The accommodation was adequate. Bed was amazing and so was shower !! The things that were lacking were any information on using micro oven, heating in the bedroom as November nights a bit chilly and cleaning equipment etc . Having said that Maria was brilliant even though no English was spoken !!! My limited Portuguese got us through and Mimi was a welcome guest every morning !! Thanks for a lovely week on a much needed holiday.

Lovely relaxing holiday
We loved this property a very quaint Algarve cottage well equipped, the bed was the most comfortable we have ever slept in on holiday. The pool was very clean and inviting, plus we haven’t been to this part of the Algarve before but we would certainly love to come back.

A quiet getaway
A quiet rural location where you can relax. The cottage is well equipped and comfortable with a dip in the pool rewarding after a day in the sun. Two good local, walking distance, restaurants which we visited on the majority of the nights. Half an hour to great beaches & not too crowded just out of season. Recommended.

Maison sympa avec piscine
La piscine est très sympa malgré que l'eau soit très froide ... un peu difficile de rentrer dedans. La maison est bien équipée même si elle est un peu sombre. La literie est de qualité. Maria qui habite juste à côté est agréable et serviable. Malheureusement Patricia nous avait donné un mauvais numéro de téléphone et le numéro de la rue n'était pas le bon non plus. Impossible de joindre Patricia à notre arrivée et avons dû chercher plus d'une heure et demie en demandant à toutes les personnes qu'on rencontrait ...
